| Very best sounding Vinyl Never heard of Better Records and their grading system. Is the happy medium just to buy those recordings on Ebay ? I assume people resell them there. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @twoleftears Yes glue plus some other quirks is what I was told. Some California 3rd party is fixing those under warranty and supposedly the UK fixed the issues in the China manufacturing plant. Time will tell.... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @roberjerman For some reason the admin deleted my response maybe because I cursed slightly but whatever. So while Quads were at the top of my list, there are 3 reasons why they won't work for me.1. The Quads would be placed no more than 2-3 fee... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @limomangusIt is crazy how discounted used speakers generally are, similar to a car once you drive it off the lot and then when start to add miles, especially when newer models come out. Case in point, Raidho speakers. People who can afford Raidho... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @yuvalg9 Thx Yuval. I should have been more specific but I do currently own the Navis ARF51 which is an active but all analog designed tower for $4600 pair. You cited the ARB51 which is the smaller bookshelf at $2,300 a pair not $16,000 lol. I eve... | |
| Cube Audio or Charney Do people still own and love their Charmey speakers? I live about 50 minutes away. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Some OP nostalgia....Around 1991 after I graduated college, I bought my first pair of speakers at the Listening Room in Scarsdale NY. There I auditioned, eyes closed, 4 sets of speakers all in the same price range -- Thiel, Mirage, Snell and Def T... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @flatblackground Ah ok they are #2 on the list I posted. Moab, Double Impact or Ulfberht. And they are on sale. | |

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience If anyone is keeping score, it just goes to show how silly but profound my post was. Whether the recommendation came from a dealer, distributor, boutique manufacturer, engineer, or plain enthusiast/audiophile, the responses meeting my criteria (w... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @iopscrlC’mon dude. Pick the speakers first, then match the amp. Golden rule. Even electrical amp engineers told me that one. BUT if I had to lean in a direction, it would be towards a tube amp, since I spent the better part of 25 years swapping s... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @flatblackroundAs I’ve been given over 40 speaker choices claiming to all be "the be all end all", Hijack away! As the OP, I’ll start off. To me it means a warm sound, not analytical, that can be played at low levels with all the nuance. Involving... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @terry9 Yeah i really wanted the panels/electrostats especially the Quads, but was told by many that the 12 foot windows are a non starter. | |
| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' There's a demo pair on sale from a European distributor on Ebay. I think USD15-16k. Sounds too high especially since he told me freight by sea is cheapest option right now due to Covid and is 2,500. Does everyone still love them? | |
| Buying a new TT today @sokogear Thats why I left it up to the engineering experts at Rega where all these design considerations are optimized. Rather then expensive experiments where everyone has a different opinion on what’s the best combination of table, arm, cartrid... |
